Netizens Find Shocking Results After Digging Into ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo “Tax Evasion Paper Company”
As discussions surrounding ASTRO Cha Eunwoo’s alleged tax issue continue online, netizens have begun examining additional details connected to the case, including the registered address of the company at the center of the controversy.
Recently, posts began circulating on online communities claiming that netizens searched the address listed in the business registry of the corporation reportedly established by Cha Eunwoo’s mother. This information is publicly available in South Korea as it is required by law for registered companies to list their address and management online. The address registered to LNC Company was in Incheon, Ganghwa-gun.
According to these posts, the address appears to correspond not to an entertainment or management office, but to a grilled eel restaurant.
The restaurant is known to be run by Cha Eunwoo’s parents. They have widely displayed his merchandise in the restaurant before.
Eojeyeon Charcoal Grilled Eel in Ganghwado is run by Cha Eubwoo’s parents. My mom said that when they had a family gathering at a pension (nearby) a few years ago, they saw Cha Eunwoo’s brother.
The address discovery quickly fueled debate, as the National Tax Service has reportedly taken the position that the company in question may have been a “paper company” that did not provide substantial services. As LNC Company was registered to provide services for “managing entertainment-related activities,” the location seems suspicious.
Earlier, Cha Eunwoo’s agency Fantagio stated that the key issue is whether the company qualifies as a substantive taxable entity, emphasizing that the matter has not been finalized and remains under legal review.
Cha Eun Woo’s side has maintained that the company was properly registered as a cultural and entertainment management business, and that it was established amid concerns over instability caused by repeated changes in Fantagio’s leadership at the time.
